2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION

2.1 Notes on Operation

• Allow 4 minutes for the compressor

to restart cooling� If you turn the air
conditioner off and immediately restart
it, allow 4 minutes for the compressor
to restart cooling� There is an electronic
device in the unit that keeps the
compressor turned off for 4 minutes for
safety�

• In the event of a power failure during

use, allow 4 minutes before restarting
the unit� After power is reinstated,
restart the air conditioner� If the power
was off for less than four minutes,
be sure to wait at least four minutes
before restarting the unit� if you restart
the air conditioner within four minutes,
a protective device in the unit may
cause the compressor to shut off� This
protective device will prevent cooling for
about 5 minutes� Any previous setting
will be cancelled and the unit will return
to its initial setting�

• When you turn the unit off in cooling

mode, the compressor will shut off
immediately and the upper/under fan
motor will stop running after 5 seconds;
if operate the unit to fan mode from
cooling mode, the compressor will shut
off immediately and the under fan motor
will stop running after 5 seconds; and if
operate the unit to heating mode from
cooling mode, the compressor will shut
off immediately and the under fan motor
will stop running after 30 seconds�

• Low temperature operation: Is your

unit freezing up? Freezing may occur

when the unit is set close to 18°C in
low ambient temperature conditions,
especially at night� In these conditions, a
further temperature drop may cause the
unit to freeze� Setting the unit to a higher
temperature will prevent it from freezing�

• Dehumidication mode increases room
temperature� The unit generates heat
during dehumidication mode and the
room temperature will rise� Warm air will
be blown out from the exhaust air outlet,
but this is normal and does not indicate
a problem with the unit�

• This air conditioner blows the warm air
generated by the unit outside the room
via the exhaust hose while in cool mode�
In the mean time, the same amount
of air will enter the room from outside
through any openings of the room�

• Any person who is involved with
working on or breaking into a refrigerant
circuit should hold a current valid
certicate from an industry-accredited
assessment authority, which authorises
their competence to handle refrigerants
safely in accordance with an industry
recognised assessment specication�

• Servicing shall only be performed
as recommended by the equipment
manufacturer� Maintenance and repair
requiring the assistance of other skilled
personnel shall be carried out under the
supervision of the person competent in
the use of ammable refrigerants�

• The working temperature range of the
air conditioner is 5-43

o

C (41-109oF)�
